Plywood consists of multiple layers of thin wood which are bonded together with a resin under heat and pressure. It has been used for many years throughout the furniture and home construction industries. It is a very strong, durable, and versatile material.

a strong manufactured board made from thin layers of wood running at 900
A assembly made of layers (plies) of veneer, or of veneer in combination with a solid core, joined with an adhesive.
Plywood is made up of thin layers or plies of timber that get bonded together. Layers are laid face to face but each adjacent layer the grain runs in the opposite direction, which provides strength to the board making it stiffer and stronger than solid timber of the same thickness.
A panel (normally 4' X 8') of wood made of three or more layers of veneer, compressed and joined with glue, and usually laid with the grain of adjoining plies at right angles to give the sheet strength.
wood panel formed by gluing and compressing thin sheets of veneer.
A type of building material made by gluing three or more thin layers (or "plies") of wood together in panels. Plies are laid so that the wood grain alternates direction with each layer; this increases the plywood's overall strength and counteracts warping in each ply.
Much maligned for being cheap and nasty, which it often is, plywood was first developed by the Ancient Egyptions some 3,500 years ago. Composed of layers, or "plys" of wood laid at 90° to each other, it has two inherent properties important in furniture making; it is extremely strong, and it does not (usually) warp or crack. Its first use in furniture dates back to the mid C18th, when the fashion for fretwork and Chinoiserie came about. Normal wood was useless for the fine patterns required, and ply was used instead.
Laminated wood made up in panels. Several thicknesses of wood glued together with grains at different angles for strength. Back to the Top
a wood sheet made of layers (plies) of thin sheets, glued to a center sheet of thicker wood, the grain running at right angles
A common type of wood product sold in 4'x8' sheets. Plywood is made of a number of thin sheets of wood laminated together with the grain of the adjacent layer perpendicular, except for the two outside plies. which are parallel to provide stability.
an assembled product made of layers of veneer held together by an adhesive, the chief characteristic of which is the alternate cross layers, distributing the longitudinal wood strength. It consists of three or more layers of veneer, firmly glued together with the grain direction of the middle layer at right angles to that of the two parallel outer layers. (Forest Management Bureau)
A piece of wood made of three or more layers of wood veneer laminated together with glue.
A panel consisting of an assembly of veneer sheets bonded together with the direction of the grain in alternate plies generally at right angles. The veneer sheets are usually placed symmetrically on both sides of a central ply or core that may itself be made from a veneer sheet or another material. It includes veneer plywood (plywood manufactured by bonding together more than two veneer sheets, where the grain of alternate veneer sheets is crossed, generally at right angles); core plywood or blockboard (plywood with a solid core (i.e. the central layer, generally thicker than the other plies) that consists of narrow boards, blocks or strips of wood placed side by side, which may or may not be glued together); cellular board (plywood with a core of cellular construction); and composite plywood (plywood with the core or certain layers made of material other than solid wood or veneers). It excludes laminated construction materials (e.g. glulam), where the grain of the veneer sheets generally runs in the same direction. It is reported in cubic metres solid volume. Non-coniferous (tropical) plywood is defined as having at least one face sheet of non-coniferous (tropical) wood.
Board or panel made of cross-directional layers of wood for dimensional stability.
Woodbased panel consisting of an assembly of layers bonded together with the direction of the grain in adjacent layers, usually at right angles. (Not made in the UK)

A fabricated wood product usually laid with the grain of adjoining layers at right angles. It is constructed of three or more layers of veneer joined with glue.
A COMPOSITE SHEET MADE BY GLUING LAYERS OF WOOD VENEER TOGETHER.
A wood panel consisting of a number of layers of wood veneer bonded and glued together under pressure. Flat sheet material built up of sheets of veneer called plies, united under pressure by bonding agent to create a panel with adhesive bond between plies as strong as or stronger than the wood alone.
A board or panel made of multiple layers of wood glued cross-directionally for greater dimensional stability.
A piece of wood made of three or more layers of veneer joined with glue, and usually laid with the grain of adjoining plies at right angles. Almost always an odd number of plies are used to provide balanced construction.
A wood and glue composite with thin layers of wood that have the grain aligned at alternating angles to create a much stiffer material than is available with a natural section of wood
A building material made of sheets or wood veneer glued together with the grains at 90-degree angles to each other. Home Improvement Encyclopedia
Wood make of three or more layers of veneer joined with glue, usually laid with the grain of adjoining plies at right angles to one another. This arrangement makes plywood strong and highly resistant to movement from expansion and contraction. This lack of cracking keeps paint and finishing problems to a minimum. Plywood has innumerable uses, from roof decking to siding and cabinets.
Layers of wood veneers binded with the grains crossing at right angles to each other for strength and resistance to warping.
Any sheet of wood made of 3 or more thin layers of wood that have been bonded together with glue. Most plywood comes in 4 foot by 8 foot sizes and has an odd number of layers to ensure stiffness and retard splitting.
Plywood was the first type of engineered wood to be invented. It is made from thin sheets of wood veneer, called plies or veneers. These are stacked together with the direction of each ply's grain differing from its neighbors' by 90° (cross-banding).O'Halloran, M.R. 1989.
